Get One Cloud Backup
On this page
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.
The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

Query Parameters
This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.
Name | Type | Necessity | Description | Default | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| false |

replicaSetName | string | Label given to the replica set from which Atlas took this
snapshot. Atlas returns this parameter when
"type": "replicaSet". |
snapshotIds | array of strings | Unique identifiers of the snapshots created for the shards and
config server for a sharded cluster. Atlas returns this
parameter when "type": "shardedCluster". These identifiers
should match those given in the members[n].id parameters.
This allows you to map a snapshot to its shard or config server
name. |
snapshotType | string | Type of snapshot. Atlas can return onDemand or
scheduled. |
status | string | Current status of the snapshot. Atlas can return one of the following values:
